Turkish Delight
Turkish Delight, or lokum, is a traditional sweet that dates back to the Ottoman Empire, around the 18th century. It was made famous by Hacı Bekir, a confectioner in Istanbul.
Made from sugar, water, and starch, lokum has a soft, jelly-like texture. Popular flavors include rose, lemon, and mastic, often with nuts like pistachios or hazelnuts. Once cooked, it’s cut into cubes and dusted with powdered sugar.
Turkish Delight is often served with tea or coffee and is a symbol of Turkish hospitality and culture. Its unique taste and texture have made it loved around the world.

Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is a traditional drink with a history dating back to the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. It is known for its strong flavor, rich foam, and unique brewing method.
Made from finely ground Arabica beans, Turkish coffee is prepared in a small pot called a cezve. The coffee is simmered slowly with water and sugar (if desired), without being stirred once it starts to froth.
Served in small cups, Turkish coffee is often accompanied by a glass of water and a piece of Turkish Delight. It’s not just a drink—it’s a part of Turkish culture, famous for its taste, presentation, and the tradition of fortune-telling from the coffee grounds.
